Breakfast Burritos

I let you in on a little secret yesterday on my Monday Menu post - I don't usually cook breakfast - Mountain Man does. However, there are some things that I do cook - and one of those things are Breakfast Burritos. Now, I have to say, right up front, this is my interpretation of a recipe I found on The Pioneer Woman's blog. (If you would like to see her recipe -

Dee's recipe is great, but I think it takes a lot of time - Mountain Man and I love my version just as much - and it is quick and easy!

(Correction - 9/15/2012 - Pioneer Woman's name it Ree, not Dee - don't know where my head was when I typed that, or should I say fingers. Sorry, for my error and it was not intentional)

Ingredients:

1 lb. Pork Sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)

1 Pkg. Hash browns (I use Simply Potatoes)

8 to 12 Large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 pkg. shredded cheese (I use cheddar today, but I have used a Mexican blend)

salt and pepper to taste

1 to 2 pkg. flour tortillas (I used the soft taco size tortillas)

That's it.

All the ingredients (except the milk.)

Let's go through the steps.

1. Brown sausage - drain on a paper towel.

Cook hash browns in the same pan.

(I use a non-stick electric frying pan)

While the hash browns are cooking -

In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper.

Add browned sausage back to the pan with the cooked hash browns.

Silly me, I forgot to take pictures of the next step - but it isn't hard.

Add the eggs to the sausage mixture and cook until the eggs are done, stirring gently.

After eggs are done - lay a tortilla on counter. Place egg mixture on tortilla. Top with cheese. Roll into a burrito.

Depending on how many eggs you use and how large you make each burrito, will determine how many burritos you will end up with. On the day I fixed these I used ten eggs and made twenty-two burritos.

Wrap the burritos in plastic wrap.

Then place the wrapped burritos in freezer zip-lock bags.

I put four burritos in a small zip-lock bag and then place several of the smaller bags into a larger zip-lock bag.

Place in freezer.

When you are ready to eat - take the number of burritos you want out of the freezer (we usually only do two at a time) - unwrap(yes, I am making a big deal about this - if you have wrapped the burritos in plastic wrap you MUST unwrap them!) - place in a paper towel and warm ONE of the burritos for 45 seconds - take out - warm the second ONE for 45 seconds. Then put the first one back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat for second burrito.

I know this method of warming sounds strange, but we have found to be able to heat the burrito all the way through, this is the best way.

Serve with salsa, sour cream, or plain. Your choice.

We think that these are a good, quick breakfast for someone that is on the go (or for someone who doesn't want to cook one morning)!

Try these then let me know what you think!

Hugs -

Carol

Linda, I made a batch of these. They are fantastic. Strangely enough, my frozen burritos were disappearing. Seems the baby girl (32yo) was coming into the house after her dad and I left for work and was enjoying the burritos too. The only problem I've had is trying to get the plastic wrap off while I was driving. I had to pull over to get the blessed thing off. They are wonderful!!

Heh CAS! I knew that if I fixed this many of anything I had to be able to freeze them - it just took us a little while to figure out how to warm them up and get them warm all the way through - Can't tell you how many times we ate them with cold centers - LOL! (However, this way really does get them warm all the through.)Hugs -Carol

These are a hit with EVERYONE I have made them for. Great for moms just home from the hospital with baby (she had toddlers at home). I also made them for a friend who unexpectedly had her 9 and 12 year old grandchildren come stay with her. Toddlers, pre-teens, teens and adults all love them.

One of the things that I did not go into on the post is you can customize the burritos according to your needs. If you don't want to freeze them you can always use less eggs and even cut down on the sausage and potatoes (maybe 1/2 a pkg. instead of the whole thing). I'm just a little lazy and would rather make the big batch and freeze, but you certainly wouldn't have to. Thanks for dropping by!Hugs -Carol

These look tasty and the recipe makes quite a few. I love the idea of wrapping them and putting them in the freezer so you can grab them and have breakfast all set to go. Brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing at our party this week.

Hi Jessica -I hope you enjoy these as much as Mountain Man and I do - we think they are great - and the tortilla does not get mushy - just make sure you wrap them well and use freezer zip lock bags.Hope you enjoy!Hugs -Carol

What a great idea for the freezer! Thank you for including the instructions for re-heating--it really helps to know just how to do that so that they'll be yummy, warmed all the way through, and not overcooked.

Richella - I hope that you enjoy the burritos as much as we do - but it doesn't do any good to have something in the freezer if you don't know how to warm them up so they taste good. I hope that the warm up instructions work for you -

We eat breakfast burritos every once in a while. This is a great idea to make a bunch and freeze them. Thank you for linking up to the Thursday hop. Sorry I'm behind in saying thank you. My Monday post will explain my delay.Hope to see you again this Thursday. xo

OMG, my husband loves breakfast burritos, but he takes them for lunch !! I never ever thought of FREEZING them... That's genius ! It's going to save me so much more time in the mornings... Love it. Wow. I'm still in shock that I never thought of this before. Amazing. :)

Dear Carol!!!I MADE your burritos yesterday!!!!They are SO DELICIOUS!!! We had them for dinner, LOL! We could not resist them hahahahahaha!!!But now they are frozen waiting for my son to eat them when he wants!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for the wonderful recipe!!! I have pics if you want me to email you!

Claudine - I would LOVE for you to email the pictures to me! That would be so sweet of you - my email address is listed under my information on the blog. I can't tell you how happy I am that you all liked the recipe - that just makes my day! Thanks for letting me know.Hugs -Carol

Wow after all these years....My mom did this for me as a kid. I loved them. I think of them often. She also made sandwiches with bagels and they were just as tasty! Thanks for the reminder! I'm making these Sunday night for the week! :) :) :)

I make these all the time. I use rice instead of potatoes and add onion and bell pepper if I have it. When wrapping if you add paper towel (1/4 of a full size) and open one end when heating you do not have to take plastic wrap off. My son loves these.

The last batch I made I used onion and bell pepper in them, but I have never thought about using rice - I have never wrapped them with a paper towel before putting them in the freezer - I would be afraid that they would get soggy. Guess I'll have to try that!Hugs -Carol

Thank you for posting this. My husband recently became a drill sgt., and I have been trying to make different things to freeze. He always misses out on breakfast because he leaves the house at four in the morning, and as much as I would like to I am not waking up that early to cook. :) If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them.. Thanks again!

Hi Motivated - I hope that you will come back and check out some other things that I will be posting in the near future. Now that we are home from the hospital with the new grand baby I'll be back to posting more frequently! I hope your husband enjoys them!Hugs -Carol

Thanks again!

Oh, Wow......after reading your recipe and seeing your post, I sent my husband to the grocery store for a few of the ingredients I did not have, and have just made your burritos and have frozen them. It was all I could do not to eat one on the spot....giggle....but I must confess, I did take a bite....and oh, they are yummy!!! I am quite certain that they will be a huge hit with my four grandsons, husband, and 96 year old dad!!! How can I thank you enough for sharing this with us!!!!!

I saw this on Pinterest. I make these all the time and freeze them but I never thought about adding hash browns. I'll try that next time. They are really good with red and green bell peppers, sautéed with onion. Yum!

Hello Logan Family! I'm so glad that you found us on Pinterest (don't you just love it - I know that I can get lost for hours on that site - LOL!). The last time that I made them I used onion and peppers that I cooked with the sausage and they were yummy! Hope you'll come back and check out other ideas that I have!HugsCarol

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you - with the new grandbaby in the NICU and living at the RMH in Orlando for two weeks - the blog was the least of my worries. However, now that we are home, the Hashbrowns are in a 20 oz. package (just the normal Simply Potatoes bag) and the cheese was in an 8 oz bag. Feel free to use as much cheese as you like.

Sure - I don't see why not, if you prefer bacon over sausage. If you fry up a batch of bacon and then crumble it into the egg and hashbrown mixture it should be fine. Let me know how they turn out.Hugs -Carol

Thank you so much for this recipe - my whole family loves them!!! The first time I made them I used your exact recipe and they were great. Yesterday I made them with hashbrowns with onions and peppers and hot sausage. We dipped them in picante sauce and sour cream. Today we ate them for breakfast and lunch! Thanks, again!!!

I have been trying to find a good breakfast burrito recipe - and more importantly, the instructions on freezing/reheating! This is perfect! Do you know how long they might last frozen in the freezer? I'm a single girl so I probably can't eat through 20 burritos quickly (or rather, I probably shouldn't)!

Hi Heather - thanks for trying my burritos and I hope you like them! I really don't know how long they will last in the freezer (my hubby never lets them last more than a couple of months - LOL!) but I would think that they would last as long as any other meat in the freezer (6 months, maybe?). You can also adjust how much you make - just use 1/2 the pkg of sausage and hash browns and use fewer eggs (like 6 to 10) and it will be fine! Hugs -Carol

My family LOVES these burritos. I usually make them with the burrito size tortillas so they're quite a bit larger. I usually end up with 8 burritos, so just leaving them in the refrigerator works well. I've never tried freezing them, but I'm sure going to try it! Cook once, eat lots- love that!

So glad you like them - will be making another batch tomorrow to take on vacation with us! Love being able to have a good breakfast in about 2 minutes - thanks for letting me know - and happy eating.Hugs -Carol

This recipe sounds great! We're making them for a family reunion this week. One question? It won't be practical to heat them in the microwave, since we'll have more than 40 people to feed. Is there a method for heating them in the oven? We aren't planning to freeze them, just refrigerate them.

I don't see why you couldn't put them in the oven (low heat) and warm them - the tortillas might get a little crusty (You might be able to put a damp paper towel on them to keep that from happening - or wrap them in aluminum foil to keep them from getting 'crusty'). Let me know how it turns out!Hugs -Carol

My husband is a welder & works crazy hours so it's not always easy to whip up a good breakfast at 4 a.m.... and to be honest he's not always hungry at that time of the morning either (thank goodness sometimes :)) these would be an awesome way to stay home made but be able to take them with him to warm up when he's at work. It's also great for those Sunday mornings we're running late for church... which is just about every Sunday lol... thank you for the post, it's been pinned & I am definitely going to make them this weekend!! :)

I am making these to take with us on vacation to the beach next week. I think they will also be great during the school year when we are all trying to get out the door -- something healthier than a pop tart! Yeah! I'm using O'brien potatoes to get the pepper and onion in there. Thank you for the heating directions!

Just whipped up a batch of these - I saw the pin this morning and couldn't wait to get started! I must have filled them a little more than I should have.. I used a full dozen eggs and only made 15 burritos!

Very excited to send these with the hubs - he works out of town five days a week and I know he never gets a good breakfast.

Love this idea!! With school starting back in a few weeks, these sounds like a wonderful and quick breakfast as we're all running out the door. Can't wait to see what the kids think!! I'll let you know. :-)

They sound great and I can't wait to try them!!! Two questions, do you have any idea how many calories one of them has? And, any idea how long they last in the freezer? It's just my husband and I, and I'm not sure how quickly we would go through all of them, and obviously want to avoid them going bad! Thanks so much!!! -Melissa

Hi Melissa and Stephanie - Thanks for the comments and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond (I've been a little preoccupied -if you would like to see why look at the home page of my blog). Anyway, Stephanie and Melissa - I don't know how long they could be frozen for since mine never last longer than about 3 months (at best), but I would think about 6 months. I can say that at 3 months they are as good as the first day. Also, Melissa, I don't know how many calories they have - I've never tried to calculate them - but I guess you could take the nutritional information on the packages and "guesstimate" the calories. (Sorry, I just haven't been that concerned about it, but maybe I should try and figure that out with the next batch I make.) Sorry, I don't have definitive answers for you, but I hope you'll enjoy. BTW Melissa - it's just me and my husband too and they have never gone bad on us. Let me know how you like them! Hugs-Carol

I came across these on Pinterest and asked my husband if he'd like to try them... he leaves early and eats breakfast at work. The premade/prepackaged ones can be so expensive! We just made a batch and I had the hub try one to be sure they were something he would take... he ate one and our son and daughter each ate one, so I quickly wrapped the rest and my husband is looking forward to his work breakfast tomorrow! Thanks for the great recipe and tips!

This is a great idea. Thanks for the recipe. I go into work at 3am and usually go without breakfast (Not real hungry at 1230am when my alarm goes off.) By about 6am I'm starving. I'm always looking for quick and easy healthy things that I can grab a go with. This looks perfect. Now to find the time to actually make there...lol

I have used this recipe many times as a breakfast casserole. Never in a million years would I have thought to put them in a soft tortilla shell and freeze for a quick breakfast. I am definitely going to do this, and I know my husband is going to love it...especially since he is usually running out the door to make it to work on time. :-)

That's great! I'm so glad they worked for you and saved you money (that is always a plus in my book). I have thought about making them with bacon but just haven't tried that yet - maybe the next batch? Thanks for letting me know!Hugs -Carol

Hansen Family: I am so glad you posted that. About ten of us are leaving to go to Disney in about a month. We will be gone for a week and were trying to think of ways to save $ on food. I totally didn't think of this. THANKS!!!!

Oh my, these look so good!! My husband will be working in the early mornings here soon, so these will be the perfect breakfast for him! Thank you. :) New follower! Can't wait to see more! Yay for being blog friends! :)

I make pretty much this same recipe except I use the Southwestern flavored Simply Potato Hash Browns for even a little more flavor. We always eat some the morning I make them (Baked at 400 degrees for 10 minutes to get the tortilla crispy) and freeze the rest and reheat in microwave or toaster oven--Delicious!

Hi Kelly - I have not fixed them while camping, but I have taken them with us already ready. All I had to do is warm them up. I think it would take quite a while to fix over a campfire or camp stove, but it would be doable. Good luck ..... but I just find it much easier to fix them at home and warm them up when needed - ;-)

Love this! Thank you so much for sharing this. My kids are evening helping prepare them. They love the idea of being able to have them for school. One is up and ready early and the other is always running late. Independence for for mom!!

Haven't gone through all the comments to see if someone else said this, but if you use wax paper instead of plastic wrap, you can microwave it with the wrap on. Actually, the wax paper kind of steams the burrito and makes it taste as fresh as it would have tasted right after you made them. I use Ree's recipe all the time and I use wax paper so it's easy to microwave.

Thank you for this. It was one of those..well...duh...moments for me. I have one starting kindergarten in two weeks and these will be great for munching on those cold mornings while we walk. They'll keep little fingers warm! And big ones too. lol

Hi Amanda -Well, I hope that those little fingers are staying warm, as I imagine it is starting to be a little chilly up your way. What part of Canada do you live? Mountain Man and I traveled up to Alaska a couple of years ago and came through Canada - it was still snowing during the middle of May! LOL!Hugs -Carol

My son is a student and works 1/2 day prior to classes - he reports to work at 6:00 AM and is typically running late trying to get himself out of the door and on his way - and as a result he skips breakfast. I made these and arranged them in the freezer for him to microwave as he dresses in front of the microwave (Oh brother!) and he isn't just consuming one per morning - he is consuming 3 per morning and loving them!!!

They have never lasted longer than a couple of months in our house (and it is just Mountain Man and me) but they would probably last around 6 months - but that is just a guess. Hope they work for you.Hugs -

Just made these tonight. I'm so excited because they will be perfect for my daughters to eat as they rush off to school in the mornings. As I was making them my 12 year old could not wait and ate one for her dinner. She loved it and had the rest of the family begging her for a bite. Lol. They were so easy to make and I know they will be grabbing these every morning instead of running out without breakfast (which happens often). My batch made about 15 and I'm sure I'll be making them again real soon. Thanks so much for the great recipe! :)

Thanks for the recipe! Saw it on PINTEREST! I just made these today and got 28 burritos, used 12 eggs and put 1/4 c of the mix in each burrito. I used the mexican shredded cheese. I also made a second batch and accidentally bought a hashbrown package that had green and red peppers in it!!! YUM! These will be great for my kids for school mornings.

I tried making these today. I was wondering if you had any tips for the tortilla cracking? I tried putting them in the microwave for 30 seconds and it helped a bit but wondering if you had a trick for that. Thanks for the time

Hi - hope I can help you here. I have found that if the tortilla's are a little old (or too cold) they will crack - I've actually had more of problem when they are old. I have a little trick that sometimes works - put them in a paper towel and moisten the towel - then warm them in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds. Hope this little tip will help you if you ever find you are having that problem again.Hugs -Carol

Hi Jammie - Let me see is I can explain how to do it (instead of having pictures). Okay - after you put your ingredients onto the burrito fold in the sides - maybe about 1/2 inch. Then fold up one side while holding the sides and roll. I hope this explanation helps - maybe I'll post pictures on the blog to help - so come back and check it out.Have a great day!Hugs -Carol

Thank you, thank you for this. I made a batch today and added red & green peppers, onions and mushrooms. I used a carton on liquid eggs + 3 large eggs. I only got 18 but that is still plenty to keep the hubby happy for the next week or so in breakfasts.

Hi Annette - I think the amount of burritos you get depends greatly on the amount of ingredients you put in the burrito (well, duh? right?) No, really, what I mean is - I don't make the burritos real big - I try and use the smaller size tortillas and I think that makes a difference too. I hope that you and your hubs enjoy them.Hugs -Carol

Made these yesterday and ate for breakfast this morning. A HUGE success! My husband usually hates frozen breakfast items, but this homemade version was a hit. Will be making over and over again. You rock!

Nichole - you can make hash browns if you have a cheese grater. Just peel the potatoes and then grate the raw potatoes. After you grate them you can cook them as stated in the recipe. (You can even add chopped green peppers and onions if you would like while cooking the potatoes - it just adds a little extra flavor!)Hope this helps and if you have any other questions, please just let me know.Hugs -Carol

Hi Ashley and additional voices - Thanks for the comment. Thehubs and I have never warmed them in the oven, but some others have said they have. I think they have said that they warmed them at 425 for like 10 minutes (maybe?). I think that is they were thawed they would be easier to warm in the oven/or toaster oven. Maybe I'll need to try this and see what happens. Let me know how it goes for you - I would really like to know!Hugs -Carol

So happy that you enjoyed them - I think they are a great quick and easy breakfast for those morning when you don't want to fix something else (I love salsa on mine too, but the hubs doesn't, so I always have it on the side!)Hugs -Carol

This is a fantastic idea. I will be making my own version of these using whole spelt tortillas, pastured eggs and cheese, and nitrite-free sausage. I might also add some ground kale for extra nutrition. Thank you for the idea!

I just made the mix, but now I am having trouble rolling the burrittos...sigh (and doing so with bum-hand at the moment lol). the tortillas are cracking and not staying folded...not even overstuffing them. Ive used the same brand as you. Any suggestions or can I just turn these into breakfast tacos lol--seriously?

The mix is good, but if there is any other way to use this mix without having to make the burrittos, pleaseeeee let me know ASAP. Thanks for the post though.

Hi Kia -I am so sorry you are having a problem rolling the burritos . The only suggestion I I would have is to warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds to soften them. The only time I have this problem is when the tortillas are old. Hope this helps.Hugs-Carol

hi Carol! I made this tonight with my fiance and we added green chili. :) they are such cute-sized burritos. we're planning on taking this to work tomorrow. I'm also thinking about making a batch for my work's potluck on Halloween. thank you for sharing your simple and quick version of Ree's recipe. have a great week!

Carol, these are fantastic. My husband loves something quick and easy in the morning. These are perfect. I made a couple substitutions as my hubby has to be on a cardiac diet. I used egg beaters for the scrambled eggs, my hubby couldn't tell the difference. I used some canadian bacon to replace the regular bacon. My husband eats them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Thanks for the great recipe! Will be making these a lot!

I used this recipe a couple of months ago for my husbands breakfasts, as he has to wake up at 4:30 every morning and I cannot seem to get myself out of bed every morning to make him breakfast. The whole family just loves them! I am going to make another batch this evening. I just wanted to add that instead of using the hashbrowns we used the potato chunks and they were amazing. We also save our sauce packets from taco bell when we go and we use them on our breakfast burritos. Thanks for posting this recipe we enjoy it very much!

Hi Jessica - I'm so glad that your family likes my little burrito recipe. Isn't it great the way you can personalize them to your family's tastes? I mix up the way I fix them about every other time - sometimes using sausage and sometimes using bacon - adding mushrooms or onions. Sometimes I use the potato chunks too! Hope they continue to fill the need with your family.Hugs -Carol

My fiance and I love these. We live in High Springs FL and are often "on the go". I use waxpaper instead of plastic wrap and just pop them right in the microwave. This seems to work better and I dont have to dirty a plate to cook them. Thank you so much for posting this. :)

I'm making these for the second time right now. They are delicious and super easy in the mornings. I'm not a morning person so usually I skip breakfast to sleep in a little bit more and with these burritos I can sleep in and have a quick meal. We love them with salsa!
